This one day seminar is designed to give officers
the shooting skills needed to save their lives
during an officer involved shooting. Officers
will become familiar with the technique of point
shooting, shooting on the move and shooting one-handed.
Officers will learn the benefits of point shooting
over aimed shooting and why aimed shooting doesn't
work during actual combat situations. This is
a hands-on intensive live fire course where officers
will not only learn how to point shoot but will
learn the skills needed to be able to shoot accurately
while moving and in low light. These skills are
desperately needed when an officer is involved
in a situation where he needs to shoot quickly
and accurately.

This two day lecture and hands-on live fire course
is designed to give the firearms instructor the
working knowledge needed to instruct others in
the technique of point shooting. Instructors will
learn the benefits of point shooting over aimed
shooting and how to develop a point shooting program
within their own agency. This is a hands-on live
fire course where firearms instructors will not
only learn how to point shoot themselves but will
also learn how to instruct others in the tactic
of instinctive point shooting. Realistic courses
of fire as well as target analysis will be discussed.
Each student will receive a copy of Mike Rayburn's
book titled; "Advanced Patrol Tactics".

Combat Shotgun I
If there ever was a point and shoot weapon, it
is the shotgun. From the trench guns of WW I,
all the way up to today’s application of the
shotgun in law enforcement, the military, and
home defense. No other firearm out there
commands the respect a 12-guage shotgun does,
when you rack that slide.
In this one-day course Mike Rayburn will take
his knowledge of point shooting, and apply it to
the shotgun. When you’re in combat, whether it’s
with a handgun, rifle, or shotgun, your body
will instinctively react to the stress when your
fight or flight response kicks in. This course
will teach you to work with those natural
reactions, while applying the shotgun as an
effective tool.

Combat Shotgun II
You’ve taken Combat Shotgun I, and are now
looking to take your newfound shotgun skills to
the next level. In Combat Shotgun II, we will
put those newly acquired skills to the test, and
bring you up to that next level. If you thought
Combat Shotgun I was a challenging, and
physically demanding course, then you can
imagine what’s in store for you in Combat
Shotgun II. Prepare yourself to be challenged on
every level in this demanding combat course.
After a refresher of the skills learned in
Combat Shotgun I, this course will use street
proven tactics to quickly advance into other
areas of the shotgun for combat use.

Combat Shotgun Instructor Course
The most versatile weapon in the law enforcement
arsenal has been, and will always continue to
be, the shotgun. Even though it is the most
versatile weapon we have, most officers still
shy away from using it. Here’s the thing; if
you’re going to a gun call, bring a real gun –
bring a shotgun. If you have to clear a building
that may possibly contain an armed individual,
bring a real gun – bring a shotgun. Nothing
commands more respect than the racking of the
slide on a 12-gauge shotgun.

One other fact about the shotgun that goes all
the way back to it’s origins is, that it’s a
point and shoot weapon. Going back to the old
blunder busters, the coach gun, to the trench
guns of WW I, all the way up to today’s law
enforcement and military applications. Sure, its
been improved upon over the years, but it’s
still a point and shoot weapon.

In this course Mike Rayburn takes his knowledge
of point shooting and applies it to the shotgun.
When you’re in combat, whether it’s with a
handgun, shotgun or rifle, your body will
instinctively react to the stress when you’re
fight or flight response kicks in. It doesn’t
make any sense to try and work around that
natural reaction. Instead, embrace it, work with
it, and more importantly – train with it. That’s
what this course is all about – to train like
you fight!
Some of the topics covered are; dispelling the
myth of the recoil, rapid firing, the various
ready positions, snap shooting, movement,
multiple assailants, the shotgun as a surgical
shooting tool, and transitioning to the handgun
are just a few of the topics covered. Contact
RLET for course schedule and registration.

This three day course will cover vehicle stops from
A-Z. The seminar will start out with some basic
officer safety issues that every officer should
know. The course will then advance into the various
vehicles that officers will encounter on a vehicle
stop, and how to use low risk and high risk techniques
on those vehicles. All aspects of a vehicle stop
will be covered including pursuits and suspect
control. Part of day three will consist of
practical exercises conducting mock vehicle stops. Each participant will receive a copy
of Mike Rayburn's books titled; "Advanced
Vehicle Stop Tactics" & "Advanced Patrol
Tactics". Each student will also receive a
complete manual for the class.

Handcuffing Instructor
Every year a number of officers are assaulted
during the handcuffing process, and more
litigation surrounds the use of handcuffs than
any other tool we carry. Yet for most
departments training in the proper use of
handcuffing techniques is minimal, if at all.
This two-day course is designed to give the
handcuffing instructor the necessary tools and
information needed to conduct a handcuffing
program at his/her agency.

If you’ve already taken a patrol rifle
instructor course and are looking to add some
new skills and tactics to your training, then
this is the course for you. This two-day course
picks up where other patrol rifle instructor
courses have left off. It looks at the realities
of the street, and how the patrol rifle is
deployed under those conditions. That 300-yard
shot is nice to make on the range, but in actual
street confrontations that distance is rarely
seen.

In most cases the rifle is used as a close
quarters weapon. Usually within a building, most
often a residential building, or at a traffic
stop where the distance is no more than one or
two car lengths in front of the officer, or
across a roadway. In a close quarters fight
there is no need, sometimes no room, and most
often no time, to obtain some type of
“traditional” sight picture with your weapon.
Under these conditions you’ll be forced to place
a quick, accurate shot into your opponent,
without the use of sights. This course will
teach you exactly how to do that, but more
importantly it will teach you how to instruct
others to perform these skills.

These are just some of the topics covered in
this two-day firearms training course.

These are just some of the topics
covered in this two-day firearms training class.
This course is designed to give the boat patrol
officer the shooting skills needed to safely,
and effectively, shoot from one unstable
platform to another, as in shooting from one
boat to another. Students will learn the
benefits of point shooting over sighted fire,
and why target shootings skills will not save
your life during a confrontation on the open
water.

Large
ships are somewhat stable, especially in calm
waters, but most of us patrol from smaller craft
that bob and pitch on the water. This class is
designed to give the boat patrol officer the
skills needed to combat that bobbing and
pitching motion, to effectively place a shot
into their adversary while on the water.

Day one
will be spent on the range learning the tactics,
and day two will be spent applying those
newfound tactics and skills, while shooting from
a boat on the water. If permitted, live fire
will be used on the open waters of the ocean,
while Airsoft, or SIMS, will be used for other
bodies of water.
